Tour with Cinder Conk

What a great tour! My favorite parts were: kayaking off of the island Vinalhaven, Brian’s mirror shoes dance, the 2000-strike lightning storm/almost-tornado that tore through Hershey leaving trees strewn everywhere, and the bear that greeted us at Anna’s place in Bearsville. And the music was awesome! I hope we can do this again soon…

Here is a map of our 8 stops on the tour. I’m working on getting the videos up soon – in the meantime, connect the dots!
